English Teaching Jobs in China

The biggest provider of English teaching jobs in China is language centers. They account for the bulk of English teacher employment in China because there are not a lot of opportunities to find government programs.  But the most desirable jobs are in public schools because you get more vacation time and a higher salary.  

Salaries are competitive in China with an average monthly pay of about 12,000 RMB ($1,000 – 2,500 US), often coming with generous welcome packages.  For example, Chinese schools usually provide benefits like subsidized housing, airfare coverage, and contract completion bonuses.
